Product Overview

DALI KATCH One is a premium all-in-one soundbar. While it does not pretend to support numerous channels from a single box, the KATCH ONE features 6 quality drivers found in premium DALI loudspeakers; they are joined by 4 passive radiators, all packed in a premium chassis with modern yet classy details.
The cabinet of the KATCH ONE is molded from glass-fiber-reinforced ABS that is both rigid and lightweight. DALI has placed all the I/O ports on a rear connection bay that aids at hiding the cables. There is a unique and elegant wall-mounted leather-strap solution, while for those who would place their soundbar on the table top, solid wood feet are also supplied.
The KATCH ONE boasts a high signal to noise ratio from its Class-D amplifiers. It is able to deliver a powerful yet nuanced sound signature and is a good option for both accompanying TVs and as a device to enjoy music from.

Reviewers from techhive have found:
The DALI Katch One is an excellent soundbar that can be used as a Bluetooth speaker without a TV. It's much taller than most soundbars, so you must have plenty of room below the TV. With the right placement, its sound is clean, open, and well balanced.
Pros
  • Open, clean, and well-balanced sound
  • Easy to set up and use
Cons
  • Doesn’t support Wi-Fi 6
  • No built-in subwoofer

Reviewers from trustedreviews have found:
The DALI Katch One is one of the best soundbars on the market. Well-judged tonal balance means it manages to be subtly detailed. The midrange, where the bulk of any movie soundtrack resides, is nuanced and loaded with fine detail. Down at the bottom end, there’s not quite the extension some rivals offer, but there's a stack of texture and tonal variation.
Pros
  • Well-judged presentation
  • Intuitive design
  • Excellent build quality
Cons
  • Bass isn’t quite as powerful as rivals

Reviewer score 89% (normalized by Neofiliac)
Reviewers from whathifi have found:
There's no network connectivity or apps with the Katch One – this is pure audio. HDMI ARC is likely to be your method of connection so you can still use your TV's remote to change the volume. There's no LED display and all the buttons and little halo lights are on top, so it is difficult to see from your viewing position which one is currently selected. The sound is suitably earth-shattering.
Pros
  • Gorgeous, dynamic sound
  • Dolby Atmos and Dolby Vision
Cons
  • Bass isn’t the best
